Wal-Mart Randoms

Last night my husband and I decided to go out for burgers at about 11:00 PM.  We weren't incredibly hungry, but it was one of those things where we went because it's cool that we CAN go out for burgers at 11:00 PM.  We're too old for curfews and too young for kids/other responsibilities that would make us stay home.

We had a great time at In-N-Out burger (the most delicious burger in the West), and we decided to kill some more time by going to the Wal-Mart across the street.  Nothing like midnight in a Vegas Wal-Mart, ha ha.  

We had fun looking around, but we bought the most RANDOM stuff.  I looked at it all this morning and thought, "Oh my...what were we thinking?!  Were we drunk when we bought this?!"  Unless you can get drunk off of a hamburger and strawberry shake, the answer to that is "no."  So anyway, I decided to share our really intelligent purchases with the blog world before I decide which ones I should take back.  You can tell me what you think.

First, we got this Angry Birds Space cup.  Ummmm.....?!?!?  I was thinking that I'm going to give it away as a prize in my classroom, but are kids really going to be like, "WOW!  AN ANGRY BIRDS CUP!"?  Probably not.  Oh, well.  It was only 87 cents.

Bath confetti.  Yep, we bought bath confetti.  You're supposed to sprinkle it in the bathtub, and it dissolves and makes your bath smell like watermelon. (Huh?) The kind we got was in the shape of Minnie Mouse, but there wasn't a picture of that on Google.  Why did someone invent Minnie Mouse bath confetti?  More importantly, why did we buy it?!

I got this cupcake apron.  I love aprons.  They make me feel really domestic.  I argued with Rex that although I already have ten aprons, I don't have one specifically for BAKING, therefore I needed this cupcake one.  Now I have an excuse to make cupcakes.  I really don't need any more aprons...I don't cook often enough to use all of the aprons I already have.  I just love them, though! They make me smile!  Isn't my smile worth $7.98??  Rex thought yes.  :-)

Noise cancelling headphones.  Rex claims that he needs these for when he goes shooting at the gun range.  I told him that in the three years we've been married, he's gone to the gun range ONCE.  I hardly think that constitutes buying $19.99 headphones.  He claims that he's going to start going all the time when we move back to Michigan in June, so he needs the headphones.  MMMMMMM HMMMMMMM.  Whatever.  He finally admitted that he also wants them to he can block out the Hanson music that I listen to while I clean.  Why's he being a hater??  Who doesn't love to blast a little "Mmmbop?!"  I can't believe I married someone who doesn't love "Mmmbop."

Potato Peeler.  Definitely our most legitimate purchase.  I've broken our last two potato peelers.  Apparently I peel too "aggressively."  Ha ha.  So we finally forked out the $3.49 for a sturdy one instead of the 88 cent ones I had been buying.

This Cambell's Soup thermos.  I have no clue why we need a thermos.  We never use thermoses.  Rex claims that's because we've never had a thermos to use, but I said that's dumb.  He really wanted it, and it was on clearance (BECAUSE NO ONE NEEDS A CAMBELL'S SOUP THERMOS!), so we got it.  He drank his coffee out of it this morning, but I think that was mostly to prove that he would use it.  Silly Rex.

So anyway, we have learned our lesson, and you can learn from us: don't take late night trips to Wal-Mart.  Your seemingly "cheap date" will end up costing you $38.00.  Booooooo!
